This in terval he employed re-establishing the bridge over the Ebro, and disarthing the inhabitants of the environs. On the 12th, he , marched to Alagos. At. day 7 break of the 13th, he discovered on the heights an army of insurgents, who were commanded by PAL-. LAFOX, the Commander in Chief of Saragossa. Ge fieral LEFEBVRE immediately formed his troops in columns, and ordered them to advance. The insur gents were supported by two batteries of six pieces of artillery each. General LEFEBVRE proceeded' in person, with his cavalry and a company of light troops, to take the insurgents in flank. They made one discharge be fore he approached them within reach of musket shot, and fled, leaving behind their artillery, and throwing away their muskets in the flight. Up wards of 2000 threw themselves into the Ebro, and were drowned. The Polish chasseurs cotaduded themselves with great bravery. Many of them swain across the Ebro, to cut off a column of the insur gents. Four Polish soldiers were killed, and one Captain was drowned.` The total loss of the French, on this occasion, consisted in four killed and nine punded. 'After the affair of Alagos, General LEFEBVRE con tinued his march. On !the 14th, he came up with a considerable body of the rebels of Saragossa, whom be instantly attacked and defeated, with the loss of 300 men and two pieces of cannon. After gaining this advantage, he continued hiamarch'w- wards the city. General DUPONT, on reaching Alcola, in Anda lusia, on the 7th inst. came in sight of the insur gents who were under the command of Dori PEDRO ESCREURRI. He charged across the bridge, attack ed the insurgents, and routed them with the loss of all their artillery, consisting of six pieces of cannon. The numbers of. the enemy were very great, but they were' dispersed like - clorith of dust; and at eleven of the s a me d ay , General. DUPON T en tered Cordova, so that his march towards that city scarcely experienced a delay of two hours from the insurgents. The MagistrateS and principal inhabitants of Val ladolid were expoSed to the most dreadful sufferings while that city remained in possession of the rebels. They .ereeted a gibbet under -the Captain General LA'CUE,STA'S windows, in order to compel hint by terror to place himself at their head. • •Gener;l CEVALLOS, on his arrival from Segovia at Valladolid, was put to death by the enraged popu lace. His head was stuck on a pike, and carried in procession thtough the city, atter which it was tossed about the streets. The general-disarming was carried on without in termission ; and all the people in that , quarter were returning to their duty. After the affair of Alagos, General LEFEBVRE con tinued his march, and on the t 6th arrived in front of the gates of Saragossa. He made himself master of the entrenchments which the insurgents had thrown up, on the piece of ground which was formerly co vered with -olive - -trees, carried off the 18 pieces of artillery by which they were defended, and got pos session of the middle, gate. The greatest anarchy prevailed in the City. On the - Oth and ,18th various negociations took place with the insurgents. General LEFEBVRE intended to remain for some time in the position which he bad taken, in order to prevent the welhatfeded inha bitants from being exposed to the horrors of an as sault; and it was supposed that his expetlations of the happy result of this measure would not he dis appointed. _ Marshal-.lVloczY left Cuenza on the 16th, and was .directing his march towards Regnera. General LEFEBVRE was. marching rowards - Alvacette, in the Kingdoin of Murcia. General WREDEL was ad , vaucing into the Kingdom of Grenada. The Prince of CASTEL FRANco, the Councillor of Castile Don IGNAZ MARTINEZ DB VILLELA, and the Alcaide Don Louts MARCELLIN PEREIJRA, had returned from their journey into Arragon. They madea report to his Majesty on the subject of their mission, assuring him that the orderly clases of the inhabitants had concluded themselves in the. most satisfactory manner; but that it was impossible to open a correspondence with the insurgents, as they had returned no answer to any'of their letters. Ge neral LEFEBVRE also had a conference with him on the 20th. The Emperor gave orders that every ef fort should be made to open the eyes of the insur gents before the City of Saragossa should be exposed to all the horrors of an assault, which would bent tended with the destruction of a great number of well-disposed people. Marshal BESSIERES had tried every means which clemency could suggest to bring the mountaineers to a sense of their duty, but they had sent him no an swer. The Archbishop of Burgos had also written to: them, and addressed them in a canonical letter, but these applications having been equally unavail ing, the Marshal found himself compelled to resort to forcible means. General Ducos marched against the Escudo, and General MERLE to attack the narrow passes in the mountains of Reijnora. The insurgents were routed before they could make more than one discharge, leaving on the field four 18-pounders, and several hundreds killed. On the 21st, the Corps under both 'these Gene rals, which had formed a junttibn, approached St. Andero. The City made proposals of surrender, in order to prevent an assault. The Prince of PONTR CORVO was this day to set out from his head-quarters at Altona for Rendsberg. It is rumoured that Gluckstadt will speedily be oc. cupied by a French garrison.
